kiev coming under harsh criticism for its lack of control over various cities throughout eastern ukraine, launching its own operation in the early hours of the morning to try to at the very least reassert its own authority to a certain degree. according to the ministry of defense, though, two helicopters have been shot down by pro-russian militants. two soldiers, potentially, possibly killed as well in that effort to try to retake control over the towns. reportedly, the ukrainian military managing to take back around nine barricades, bearing in mind, though, that these are barricades that are in place outside of the cities themselves. the big challenge as the ukrainian government does, in fact, move forward in this military operation is going to be the fact that these pro-russian militants have hold up, have barricaded themselves into various buildings in the very heart of the cities. the potential for urban combat out there, the potential for more bloodshed and violence very much on people's minds, and understandably of great concern. >> absolutely concerning. arwa damon, thank you. >>>
